About Ava

Meet Ava, a bright, affectionate Cattle Dog/Pointer mix, about a year old and the perfect medium size for most homes. Ava was rescued from a local shelter along with her mom and siblings, and she really thrives on being around people. She likes to keep close, whether curled up beside you in the evening or following along with what’s going on in the home. Ava seeks out the company of adult dogs over her siblings—she’s playful but often chooses dogs that match her energy. She plays on her own too, keeping herself happy with toys or a good stick. There’s a little bit of sass to her personality, but mostly she just wants to be loved and included. Ava does well with other dogs and is gentle with children, making her a good fit for families with a playful pup already in the mix. She should keep working on her house and leash training, but she’s quick to catch on and already knows how to use a pet door. Ava is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. She enjoys treats, time with her people, and definitely wants a home where she’s part of the action. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
